Random questions

[Guest guest]

Hi all- (a special Hi to Judie..lol...haven't said hi to you in a

few days). A just read a couple of posts which make me

say..hmmm...so here are my random questions.

I noticed someone mention how after DS we aren't supposed to take

aspirin. Just wondering, what are we allow to take? Suppose I have

a headache or something...advil? Tylenol? What about (for women) if

we have cramps...will pain killers I used to take for pain absorb?

You are about to enter the bizarre question zone...my brother died of

cancer a few years ago...what happens if I get cancer...will my body

be about to absorb the medications necessary? I know this is a

terrible question to ask, but watching my brother, I am hyper-

sensitive to cancer (can you say hypocondriac...lol) (Lord help me

during breast cancer self-awareness month...lol...I swear I am doing

breast checks almost daily...I find it amusing if a little

quirky..thank God no one is watching me or they would like I'm just

slightly perverted <g>)

Another random question. I read a post (possibly by Hull...our

ultra knowledgeable poster) it mentioned hospital costs that could

be as high as $100,000 for 5 days (Omigod!). Ok...here is the

question. This may be a stupid one...so no one pick on me...is it

ever possible to get insurance to cover the hospital stay even if

they wont pay for the surgery itself? Having never been in the

hospital, I've never had to deal with insurance besides seeing a few

specialists and PCP stuff. I was just wondering if you could kinda

bargain with insurance companies for some coverage. Whew, ok...long

rambling random questions. I look forward to hearing back from you.

Take care,

PS- Liane if you are reading this...I hope you are feeling better

and that you love the new job.
